That's what I think is behind the series of Gatenbrick doors. I bet there's more than two. Think about it: The Egyptians go through all that hassle to carve 2 perfectly square blocks, and put them up. Don't you think there will be more than two if they are trying to hide something?

that is a good point about the doors. but i could go both ways on that. i mean i could say that there are more b/c they were trying to hide something. or i could say that they did that just to confuse people who might try to rob the tomb or whatever adn pu them on the wrong track so they wouldn't find somethignelse that was more inportant or hidden better than the doors, you know what i am saying? well that is my point of view anyway.

Yeah, but there would be more either way. They would put like 3 or 4 to make sure that they focused too much time on that. And they would put more security if something worthwhile was behind it.

you have a point but i don't know. i was just putting out a theory or whatever.

The more theories we have, the more we think, and the closer we get to the truth. If we find the loopholes in the theories we have, then we can find answers.

Well, how would anone from Ancient times have been able to get up that shaft and open the doors anyways? The Egyptians didn't know that 4,000 years in the future people would have little robots to go up their secret shafts. Maybe they put the doors there for stability. If it's a long tunnel, maybe it needed something to hold it up, just in case, since there would be so much weight boring down on it and it was such a small place? But of course, then I suppose they would have to bury the Pharaoh or his burial provisions before the pyramid was completed.

Yes, that could be it. But the Egyptians might have had 2 reasons to have those there.

Whoops! That was me!

egypt22 · **Posted:** Mon Dec 30, 2002 3:49 pm

that is a good idea also, what if they had a reason for putting up one and then a differetn reason for puttin gup the second (and if there are more)
